SQL to ERD-SQL schema to ERD visualization

Example

// Tables and relationships from SQL code Table Customers { ID int [pk] Name varchar } Table Orders { OrderID int [pk] CustomerID int OrderDate datetime Ref: Orders.CustomerID > Customers.ID }

Scenario

For a developer tasked with optimizing a database, SQL to ERD can convert complex SQL schema into a simple ERD, helping to identify inefficiencies like unnecessary joins or missing indices.

Example

// Visual aids for better database understanding Table Products { ProductID int [pk] ProductName varchar Price decimal } Table Sales { SaleID int [pk] ProductID int SaleDate datetime Quantity int Ref: Sales.ProductID > Products.ProductID }

Scenario

In a scenario where a team is developing a new software feature that interacts with existing database tables, SQL to ERD can visually map out the interactions and dependencies of the database tables involved.

Example

// Automated documentation for tables Table Employees { EmployeeID int [pk] FirstName varchar LastName varchar DepartmentID int Ref: Employees.DepartmentID > Departments.DepartmentID }

Scenario

SQL to ERD can be used in situations where a database needs to be documented for auditing or compliance purposes, transforming SQL definitions into easily understandable diagrams which serve as part of the documentation.
